Instructors needed for the February Teen Driving Clinic

January 15th, 2012

Teen Driving ClinicThe Audi Club of Georgia is hosting a Teen Driving Clinic on February 18 in Lawrenceville. We pick up where most ‘drivers ed’ programs leave off, teaching students how to control their car in an emergency situation. The clinic will be from 8:30 to 4:30 at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds. We are placing a very strong bias towards teaching in the car, rather than spending hours on end doing power point presentations, while the teens are zoned out or texting.  We need instructors with the passion (and the patience) to teach a teen.

If you are an instructor and are interested in volunteering your time and expertise at the clinic, please click here to contact us.
Or, if you know of other instructors who may be interested in volunteering, please don’t hesitate to send them our way.
